It seems to me that the great scientific discovery of nuclear power is just another example of a Win/Lose for us all. It just doesn't seem right: We get a super-powerful energy source that produces a intensely deadly by-product (radiation), plus it gets used to threaten other "enemy" nations all around the world. I'm all for national security, but the Nuclear Age seems to have caused a major schizophrenia affliction among the leaders of "nuclear" nations as well as the ones who clamor for a neutron fix from a good-old Hydrogen bomb.
I also find it rather interesting that both Canada and Australia produce almost 45% of the worlds' raw Uranium that gets mined each year, and neither of them have any nuclear weapons that I know of. source: http://world-nuclear.org/info/inf23.html
Australia is also the nation that leads the world in the development of highly advanced process systems to enrich raw Uranium into more pure forms that get used for both beneficial electrical generation and destructive weapons too: http://www.silex.com.au/
